Splinterlands seems to be on a roll lately, promoting the game more aggressively and taking part in all sort of crypto conferences. A lot of in game promotions for the players as well. There is one promotional even now running celebrating the Bitcoin halving.
How are the game stats doing? Is the number of games played and players growing? How many new players are joining the game?
All the data presented is collected from the Steem Blockchain.
The following topics will be covered:
- Number of games played
- Number of active players
- New Players
- New Accounts created by Splinterlands
- DEC burned
- DEC Price
- Most active players
Number of games played
Here is the chart of the daily numbers of games played.
An uptrend can be noticed here 😊. The sharp drop in September is due to the HF21/22 when the blockchain stopped for some time.
There is huge spike at the end of April, probably because of the season end, but its much bigger than the previous ones.
Number of active players
This is one of the most important metrics for every dApp, how many active users have there are. Here is a data for daily active users [DAU] and monthly active users as well [MAU]
The number of daily active users is growing at a steady rate as we can see. In May 2019 there were just above 1000 daily active users and in the previous months this number is more than a 2000, reaching a 2500 daily active players on April 29.
Next, the chart on the monthly active players.
The number of monthly active users have grown from around 3000 to almost 5000 in January 2020 and have dropped a bit from there to a 4600 in April 2020. Although there is a slight increase from March.
Unique Players
Here is the chart on unique players that have played at least one game.
A nice and steady growth here. Note that this is data from May 2019, previous unique players are not taken into consideration. Starting with around 2k and growing all the way to 10k unique players till April 2020.
The monthly chart for new unique players looks like this.
Some variations here, but on average a 650 new unique account have tried the game each month.
It is obvious that in the last months, starting from November 2019 more accounts were created. The number have wen up from around 500 in May 2019 to 1500 in January 2020, ramping up the creation of new accounts in April, to a 2512 accounts.
If we plot the two charts from above, new unique players VS accounts created we got this.
Interesting to notice that in June 2019 the number of new players trying the game is actually bigger than the accounts created by Splinterlands. This means at the time the new players were coming from the accounts that already existed. In the last months the number of new accounts created by Splinterlands is bigger that the new unique players, meaning they tring to get players outside the already existing ones on the blockchain.
DEC burned
Another interesting metric is DEC burned. DEC is burned when buying potions, orbs, skins and guilds upgrade.
Here is the chart for the all time DEC burned vs created.
The first few months after DEC was lounched in May 2019 are volatile, after some balance seems to be achieved with more DEC burned at the end of November due to the launch of the new Untamed edition and end of the presale campaign. After this it seems that DEC is burnt less especially with the introduction of potions and orbs as rewards. Note that the amount of daily DEC created is also decreasing with time.
DEC Price
What about the DEC price?
Here is the chart on DEC price in dollars [$].
We can see an overall steady decrease in price from around 0.0010 to 0.0005 and then up to a 0.0008 in April. Some upward action finally 😊.
All the best
